SOMETIMES WORDS AREN’T ENOUGH
You may understand why you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, and still find yourself repeating the same patterns.
Insight matters, but healing does not always happen through words alone.
Our experiences live not only in the stories we tell, but also in our bodies, relationships, emotions, and the roles we have learned to play. Therapy can offer a space to explore all of these parts of you.
I weave together talk therapy, drama therapy, psychodrama, and attachment-focused EMDR to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface, process experiences that may be difficult to put into words, and discover new ways of responding.
You will never be pushed to perform or be creative in a particular way. We will work collaboratively, at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
You do not need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before reaching out. We can begin by talking about what is bringing you here and what kind of support might feel right.
Explore the Ways We Can Work Together
Individual Psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and children
From a licensed therapist (LCAT, RDT/BCT, TEP)
Working from a psychodynamic, relational, and creative lens, I will meet you where you are and work with you to create a space grounded in trust, curiosity, and acceptance.
Our work may begin with talking. At other times, we might use imagery, metaphor, movement, role exploration, or other creative and experiential approaches to help you express what feels difficult to name. When appropriate, we may also incorporate attachment-focused EMDR.
Together, we can explore the experiences, relationships, and roles that have shaped you; make space for feelings that may have been pushed aside; and strengthen your ability to respond to life with greater freedom and flexibility. Therapy is not about becoming someone else. It is about having more choice in how you live, connect, and care for yourself and expanding the range of roles available to you.
Individual psychotherapy sessions are generally 45 minutes and take place weekly, online. We will determine together which approaches feel most helpful and appropriate for you.
Attachment-Focused EMDR
Sometimes experiences stay with us long after they are over. They may show up as anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, disconnection, painful relationship patterns, or simply a feeling that something has never been fully resolved.
EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapeutic approach that can help the brain and body process experiences that have remained emotionally charged or unfinished. The goal is not to erase what happened, but to help it feel less present and less powerful, allowing for greater ease, flexibility, and choice.
My EMDR training is through the Parnell Institute, whose attachment-focused approach places particular emphasis on safety, trust, and the therapeutic relationship. Before approaching difficult material, we spend time developing internal and relational resources so that you feel supported and grounded. Healing is not about pushing through. It is about creating enough safety and support to gently process what you have been carrying.
Attachment-focused EMDR may be helpful for:
Trauma and difficult past experiences
Anxiety and feelings of overwhelm
Grief and loss
Attachment wounds
Life transitions
Negative beliefs about yourself
Relationship patterns that continue to repeat
Experiences of feeling stuck despite understanding why
EMDR is always collaborative and tailored to your individual needs. We will decide together whether and when it feels right to include it in your therapy.
Group Therapy
We are shaped in relationship, and relationships can also become powerful places for healing.
Group therapy offers something individual therapy cannot: the opportunity to experience yourself with others in real time. Within a consistent and supportive community, you can explore how you connect, protect yourself, take up space, respond to conflict, and move toward or away from what you need.
The group becomes a place to practice new ways of relating while receiving support, perspective, and honest feedback from others. Over time, participants may feel less alone, more confident expressing themselves, and more able to create the kinds of relationships they want outside the group.
Drama Therapy Groups
Drama therapy uses creativity, play, metaphor, storytelling, movement, and role exploration to help participants express themselves and connect with others.
A drama therapy group might include conversation, embodied warm-ups, improvisation, creative writing, imagery, storytelling, or the exploration of fictional and personal roles. Every activity is offered with choice, and you can participate in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful to you.
Drama therapy can be especially helpful when words alone feel limiting. It provides multiple ways to explore an experience without requiring you to speak about everything directly.
Through a drama therapy group, you may:
Discover new ways to express thoughts and feelings
Build confidence and spontaneity
Feel less isolated in your experiences
Explore identity and the roles you hold
Practice communication and boundary setting
Strengthen your ability to connect with others
Experience more creativity, flexibility, and play in your life
Psychodrama Groups
Psychodrama is an action-based form of group therapy that helps bring experiences, relationships, and internal conflicts into the room so they can be explored in the present.
Rather than only talking about something that happened, psychodrama may allow you to step into a scene, speak to someone through an empty chair, explore different parts of yourself, practice a conversation, or imagine a different way forward. Other group members may support the work by witnessing, sharing, or taking roles within an enactment.
You are always involved in deciding how your story is explored. Psychodrama is guided with attention to consent, pacing, emotional safety, and the needs of the entire group.
Psychodrama can help you:
See familiar experiences from a new perspective
Give voice to thoughts or feelings that have remained unspoken
Explore relationship patterns as they happen
Practice difficult conversations and new responses
Connect past experiences with present-day patterns
Experience support and validation from others
Move from understanding something intellectually to experiencing a new possibility
You do not need to be the person whose story is being explored to benefit. Participating in someone else’s psychodrama, or simply witnessing it, can bring insight, emotion, and connection to your own experience.

What stories have shaped you? What roles feel familiar and which ones are waiting for a chance to emerge?
Join me for an eight-week therapeutic group exploring the roles we play, the stories we carry, and the possibilities we have yet to imagine. Through drama therapy and embodied work, we’ll use creative exploration, movement, storytelling, and enactment to deepen self-awareness, invite spontaneity, and practice new ways of being and relating.
Together, we’ll make room for play, reflection, connection, and discovery. You don’t need to be an actor or know what you want to explore before you arrive. We’ll build connection over time, with space to participate at your own pace.
Our eight-week journey:
Week 1 Making Connections: Connecting with yourself and the group.
Week 2 Inviting Aliveness: Exploring spontaneity and being in the moment.
Week 3 Role Call: Discovering the roles you play and those you long to explore.
Week 4 Meeting the Obstacle: Getting curious about what stands in the way and what it might reveal.
Week 5 The Stories We Carry: Exploring family and ancestral stories that live within us.
Week 6 Our Collective Story: Discovering where our experiences meet and what we can create together.
Week 7 The Wise One Within: Connecting with inner wisdom and the resources you carry.
Week 8 Imagining What’s Next: Bringing future possibilities into action and carrying the work forward.
No previous drama or acting experience is needed. An initial interview is required to explore whether the group is a good fit for you.

Sometimes we understand our patterns but still find ourselves living them. This eight-week therapy group offers a space to explore what keeps you stuck, give voice to feelings that have been difficult to express, and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Through psychodrama, we bring experiences, relationships, and inner conflicts into action. You might explore an unfinished conversation, hear from different parts of yourself, or try out a role you want to grow into—all with the support of a therapist and a group working alongside you.
Stepping into action can feel unfamiliar. You don’t need acting experience or a comfort with being in the spotlight. We’ll build connection over time, with room to move at your own pace. Whether you are exploring your own story or participating in someone else’s, there are opportunities to feel seen, discover something new, and connect.
What happens in a session?
Warm-up: Creative activities help us connect, become more comfortable, and discover what needs attention.
Action: With my guidance and the group’s support, we explore stories and experiences through enactment, making space for new perspectives and possibilities.
Sharing: We reflect on what touched us personally, offering connection through shared experience.
Curious about joining? Reach out to learn more and schedule a conversation about whether this group might be a good fit for you.
Therapy Intensives
Sometimes you may want more time and space than a traditional weekly session allows. A therapy intensive offers an extended session in which we can focus on a particular issue, memory, transition, or pattern without having to stop just as the work begins to deepen.
Intensives may incorporate attachment-focused EMDR, psychodrama, imagery, resourcing, and other experiential approaches. They can be especially helpful when you want focused support around a specific concern, feel stuck in an established pattern, or would like to do deeper work within a contained period of time.
A therapy intensive is not about moving faster than your system is ready to move. The additional time allows us to slow down, prepare thoughtfully, engage the work with care, and create space for grounding and integration before the session ends.
Intensives may be offered as part of ongoing therapy or as a short-term, focused experience following an initial consultation and assessment.
Taking the First Step
You do not need to know which approach is right for you before reaching out. You also do not need to arrive with a perfect explanation of what is wrong.
The first step is an initial consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what is bringing you to therapy, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether individual therapy, group therapy, EMDR, or a therapy intensive may be the best fit.
It is also a chance for you to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right. If I am not the best person to support you, I will be honest about that and, whenever possible, help point you toward other resources.
Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know which kind of therapy I want?
Not at all. Many people reach out knowing that something needs attention but not knowing which approach would be most helpful. During our initial consultation and early sessions, we will talk about what you are experiencing and decide together how we might work.
Do I need to be creative or have acting experience?
No. You do not need any experience in acting, theater, or the arts. Creative and experiential techniques are invitations, not requirements. The work is adapted to your comfort, interests, and needs.
Will we still talk during therapy?
Absolutely. Talk therapy is an important part of my work. Creative approaches, psychodrama, and EMDR give us additional ways to explore when talking feels limited, when you feel stuck, or when an experience is difficult to put into words.
Will I have to participate in every group activity?
No. Choice and consent are central to the work. You will be encouraged to remain engaged with the group, but engagement can take different forms. We will work together to find ways for you to participate without forcing you beyond what feels safe or appropriate.
What is the difference between drama therapy and psychodrama?
Drama therapy is a broad therapeutic approach that can include storytelling, role-play, improvisation, movement, metaphor, performance, and other creative processes.
Psychodrama is a specific action method in which experiences, relationships, or inner conflicts are explored through guided enactment. I draw from both approaches and tailor the work to the needs of each person or group.
Is EMDR only for major trauma?
No. EMDR can support people with many different experiences, including anxiety, grief, relationship wounds, negative self-beliefs, distressing memories, and patterns that continue to feel emotionally charged. We will carefully assess whether EMDR is appropriate for you.
Will I have to tell you every detail of what happened during EMDR?
Not necessarily. EMDR does not always require you to describe every detail aloud. We will discuss what you need in order to feel safe and supported, and you will remain in control of what you choose to share.
How long does therapy take?
There is no single timeline that is right for everyone. Some people come to therapy for focused support around a particular concern, while others choose longer-term work. We will talk openly about your goals and revisit the direction of therapy as our work develops.
Are sessions virtual or in person?
Individual psychotherapy is currently offered virtually and group therapy is in person.
What is your fee for therapy?
The fee for an individual 45-minute psychotherapy session is $275. Fees for groups and extended therapy intensives vary according to their structure and length and will be clearly provided before you commit. Sliding scales are available.
Do you accept insurance for therapy?
I do not accept insurance directly. I provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Because plans vary, I recommend contacting your insurer to ask about your specific out-of-network mental health benefits.
What is your cancellation policy?
Because your appointment time is reserved specifically for you, at least 48 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule an individual session. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged the full fee.
How do I know if you are the right therapist for me?
The therapeutic relationship matters. An initial consultation gives us both an opportunity to consider whether my style, experience, and approaches feel aligned with what you need. You are welcome to ask questions about the process, and I will be honest about whether I believe I can be helpful.
